Threats to Cloud Computing, Compare and contrast

Threats to Cloud Computing

As you craft your initial post, you will be using information from your texts, along with conducting independent research with sources outside of the required texts. Start your discussion with the following: 

• Compare and contrast THREE threats to cloud computing either from your textbook or independent research.
• Based on your research, of those three threats what threat do you feel poses the biggest risk to the cloud provider as well as the cloud customer?
• What countermeasures can be implemented to try to stop this threat?
• Do the countermeasures outlined impact operations? 
• Pretend that you preparing to brief your team on this topic...  In preparing for your discussion, how do the above factors impact negotiations between a cloud provider and customer?

Keep in Mind: You will need to perform independent research beyond the course text materials in order to discuss and explain the elements of a comprehensive and well-thought-out position. Consider all facets that are necessary to be proactive and successful in evaluating not only what is happening now, but also the potential future landscape.
